public void setCompactAxis([ boolean b ])

<p class="heading2">Description</p>
<div class="content">
Sets whether to compact the axis or not.<br><br>
For a color axis, the axis can assume any length. Typically, an initial length is specified so that ChartDirector can determine how many labels can be fitted on the axis, and auto-scale the axis accordingly.<br><br>
After the labels are determined, ChartDirector can compact the axis by setting its length to the minimum length compatible with the major tick density (see <a href="Axis.setTickDensity.htm">Axis.setTickDensity</a>).<br><br>
For example, suppose ChartDirector auto-scaling has set the axis labels to be [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], and the major tick density is 20 pixels, ChartDirector will set the axis length to 100 pixels, irrespective of its original length.<br><br>
If this method is never called, the default is not to compact the axis.
